Fig. 1From: Is stemflow a vector for the transport of small metazoans from tree surfaces down to soil?A Weekly rain (mm) over duration of study (8 weeks) and B mean (± SD) funneling ratio of Carpinus betulus (n = 23), Fagus sylvatica (n = 21), and Quercus robur (n = 24). The different letters above the columns indicate significant differences (Kruskal–Wallis test and post hoc Dunn’s test, p < 0.05). The linear regression (Spearman correlation) between the weekly funneling ratios of C. betulus (C), F. sylvatica (D), and Q. robur (E) and the weekly sampling dates is shown. *Percentage of samplings at which stemflow could be measured after rain events; r = correlation coefficient (Spearman correlation); r = significance level (< 0.05)Back to article page
